Hello All,

I have IBS-C and I did some Googling and found that constipation can also cause cramps, just like eating the wrong foods can.

Am I right on this??

Thanks!

Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. IBS went into remission. IBS returned in late July 2013 after taking 2 oral contrasts for a CT scan for cancer follow up. Had more acupuncture with different practitioner in summer 2014, but received little benefit.

It is a chicken an egg question. Did the cramps cause C or did C cause cramps? Both answers can be correct.
